When used correctly with approved chargers and following safety instructions, whipped cream dispensers are generally safe for home use. However, it's important to be aware of some potential hazards and follow these safety precautions:

l Never use expired chargers: Expired chargers might not function properly or could potentially rupture due to weakened material. Always check the expiration date on the charger before use.

l Do not point the dispenser at your face or someone else's while shaking or dispensing:  The pressurized gas and cream mixture can cause injury if accidentally discharged toward someone's face. Always keep the dispenser pointed away from yourself and others while shaking and dispensing.

l Never refill empty chargers: Empty chargers are not designed for reuse. Refilling them can be extremely dangerous due to the risk of overfilling or using incompatible materials that could rupture under pressure.

l Store chargers in a cool, dry place away from heat sources: Heat can cause chargers to pressurize and potentially explode. Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight or near stoves or ovens.

l Dispose of used chargers properly: Do not puncture or incinerate empty chargers.  Most manufacturers recommend treating them like empty beverage cans and disposing of them in your regular recycling bin.

By following these safety guidelines and using the dispenser as intended, you can enjoy the benefits of creating delicious homemade whipped cream without any risks.
